He is not wise that is not wise for himself.

Some people just don't, especially those who are carried away by love.

Self-righteous love.

On the train, Phyllis looked out the window at the fleeting scenery, and her mood was like a haze at twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Phyllis, give you a little magic-" Roque took out a gold coin casually, threw it into the sky, caught it with both hands, and then clenched his hands into fists and stretched out to Phyllis: "Guess which hand the gold coin is-"

How can this be magic?

Insulting IQ is not such an insult law, right?

Phyllis's expression was broken, and it was estimated that her mood was also broken, and she glanced at Roque with a sad and indignant look, and lowered her head to bite.

"Dogs?!!" Roque was startled, and could vaguely see Phyllis's little white teeth flashing with a cold light.

"Don't move, let me take a bite!" Phyllis felt that her teeth were very itchy, and people in the British were not in the same phase.

"Chocolate, please—" Roque spread out his palm, and in his palm was a piece of chocolate.

To her surprise, Phyllis's eyes widened wider than chocolate.

"How did you do that?" Snack goods have no resistance to chocolate, put chocolate in their mouths, and taste the sweet taste of chocolate -

This is the taste of love!

"Magic! From now on, please call me Locke the Magician—" Roc said righteously.

Phyllis's expression collapsed again, and there was a small fist of punches.

The small fist punched Roque, hurting Kevin's heart, Kevin sat diagonally opposite Phyllis, and he didn't even have the qualifications to sit in a booth with Phyllis.

Kevin's side and opposite are the poker-faced men of the commandos, which Roque specially arranged, after all, the task of the commandos is to protect the staff of the Mining Bureau.

Pretoria was only 50 kilometers from Johannesburg, and all the Boers near the railway had been thrown into concentration camps, so there was no need to worry about partisan attacks, and the train was speeding all the way to Johannesburg in just two hours.

Only?

Both Roque and Phyllis felt time flies.

Kevin felt like he was living like a year.

Johannesburg in the 21st century is the largest city in South Africa.

Johannesburg at the beginning of the twentieth century was actually a small town, a city that accompanied the Rand gold mines, and after the discovery of the gold mines, everyone was busy mining gold, and no one cared about urban construction at all.

So what appeared in front of Roque and Phyllis was a large area of low, disorderly shantytowns.

Looking like a slum in the 21st century, who would have thought that it was surrounded by the 20,700 square kilometre Rand gold mine.

Of course, this data is only known to Roque.

At this time, including the staff of the Pretoria Mining Bureau, it was impossible to imagine that the Rand Gold Mine was so big.

After all, there are still many mineral fields that have not yet been discovered.

For example, the Far West Rand gold field, which only began mining in 1939, is the largest of the seven Rand gold fields, producing a total of 349 million ounces of gold by the 21st century.

If you don't have an idea of 349 million ounces, then you can imagine that 349 million ounces is about 10,319 cubic meters.

Converted to weight, it's about 9.9 billion grams, 9.9 million kilograms, 9,900 tons—

(I'm sorry if it's wrong, but the honest and reliable author's math is taught by a physical education teacher-)

(This may be a joke to others, but it's really not here, the author's father is a physical education teacher, so don't talk about mathematics, the author's Chinese is taught by the physical education teacher-)

(Of course, it's not right to rely on the physical education teacher, after all, the author's mother is also a teacher-)

(Actually, this is also a very reasonable reason, because the author's mother is a music teacher, so -)

In this world, at present, only Roque knows the existence of the Far West Rand gold field, although Roque does not know the location of the Far West Rand gold field, but look at the name to know, "far", "west", one means distance, one means direction, if it is a senior expert like Nelson Holt, look at the name, you will know the approximate location of the Far West Rand gold field.

For senior experts, knowing a general location, the difficulty of finding it is probably equivalent to the level of making gold in the river as Roque said-

Quite a big one, the kind of doghead gold.

So Roque is really not in a hurry, in the Transvaal Republic, Roque may also have to worry about the outbreak of the Second Boer War, whether it will affect the ownership of the gold mine.

Now there is no need to worry about this problem, although soon after the end of the war, the Cape gained autonomous status, but the Rand gold mine has always been controlled by the British, and the British only need Cape gold, and they don't care who controls the Cape at all, and for the British government, the least valuable thing is the land.

Considering Henry's aristocratic background, Roque is not worried about the ownership of the gold mine after the discovery of the gold mine, Cecil Rhodes is indeed powerful, but Henry's aristocratic background is enough to become Roque's talisman, what Roque has to consider is the sharing with Henry, as for the ownership of the gold mine, as long as Henry comes forward, even the queen can't take it away.

So Roque is really not in a hurry, it's only 1900 now, and it's still far from 1939, and there is a lot of time.

"Locke, where is the gold mine?" Phyllis, like his brother, is simply obsessed with gold.

"Around here, thousands of square kilometers are all gold mines!" Roque wasn't kidding, the Rand Gold Mine was really that big.

"Inspector Locke, if you're interested, you can also buy a gold mine to play with—" Nelson Holt had a good impression of Roque, after all, they had played tricks on Phyllis together.

"This—it's not convenient—" Roque was prevaricating, but his expression couldn't help but be happy, who had a grudge against gold.

"Are police officers paid so much?"

There will always be people who will find themselves uncomfortable.

"Locke, you go buy it, I'll give the money!"

Lots of help!

Don't underestimate Phyllis's net worth, after all, she was born in a noble family, and she has accumulated hundreds of years, and she can pull her hair at will, which is thicker than Roque's waist.

The guy who was bored with himself turned pale.

"In such a large mining area, there should be undiscovered gold mines—" Roque won't ask for Phyllis's money, for people who travel through it, if they want a gold mine, they still have to spend money to buy it?

"Cut—dream!" Kevin was indomitable.

That being said, but for the average person, finding a gold mine is really like a dream.

After the discovery of the Rand Gold Mine, countless people from all over the world poured into the Rand Mine, and each of them had a dream of finding gold mines.

The sad part is that people tend to focus only on the aura of success and not on the bleakness of failure.
